  LPS-7787	Adding role portlet permissions may show non-existent portlets

Background:
We currently have 194 roles in Liferay. When configuring permissions for a portlet, the maximum number of roles shown on the screen at one time is 75.

Issue:
Assigning portlet permissions to a user(s) on one page of roles will remove permissions assigned earlier to users on any other page of roles. I will attach a document with screenshots.

Details/Steps:
1. Grant Configuration and/or View permissions to a role on page 1 (1-75 of 194 results).
2. Navigate to the last page of roles (151-194 of 194 results) and grant Configuration and/or View permissions to a role on that page.
3. Click "Submit"
4. Notice that the permissions assigned to roles on the first page of results are gone.

(or)
1. Grant Configuration and/or View permissions to a role on page 1 (1-75 of 194 results).
2. Click "Submit"
2. Navigate to the last page of roles (151-194 of 194 results) and grant Configuration and/or View permissions to a role on that page.
3. Click "Submit"
4. Once again, notice that the permissions assigned to roles on the first page of results are gone.
